I Bought Skyrim, And Ended Up Playing Rage Instead

So, I bought Skyrim. It arrives. I get excited. I put it into my PS3. It starts. For twenty glorious minutes, I played the game I've waited months to get my hands on. I get excited thinking about my new character, about the adventures I'm going to have. Then the game crashes. I re-start. I go through the same opening scenes again. Then the game crashes. I re-start. This time the game freezes, and I have to hard turn off my PS3. I re-start. The game crashes again. I re-start. Crash. I quit for the night, in a bit of a rage. I'm told by people online that I should expect this. It's a Bethesda game. They tend to crash. Sadly, I don't expect this. I paid sixty dollars for a product that should work. Perhaps sixty dollars isn't a lot of money to some people, but it's a lot of money to me. And when I pay for something, I don't know, call me old-fashioned, I expect to get the service I've paid for. If I buy a book, I expect it to be in English, and not have bits of leaf sewn into the binding, or have it combust when I open the cover. If I buy toothpaste, I don't expect motor oil to come out of the tube. I don't buy a DVD, then be told that if I actually want to watch it, I have to take apart my DVD player and rewire it for it to work. This is what is legally known as bullshit. So yes. I will try to play this game again. If it continues to crash, I will expect my money back. I know, crazy, right?
